Ride from Wlg -> Akl -> Kerikeri

[MrMelon]

Anyone from welly thinking about riding from welly to auckland, or anywhere along the way just before xmas?

I'm thinking about riding from welly to auckland on the 23rd or 24th, then from auckland to kerikeri on the 26th or 27th, so if anyone else is up there, then let me know and we'll go for a ride.
Sheep Dags should be up there on his nsr too.

Your bike all fixed now?

I'll be riding from Wellington to Hamilton on the 24th, haven't decided which route to take yet, I was thinking of SH1 to Waiouru then through National park.

[MrMelon]

Ah cool, yeah bike should be fixed by tomorrow with a bit of luck.

I'll ride up there with you if you like.. just let me know when you'll bea leaving and stuff.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh good luck!
I tried to make a mental note of what petrol stations stock good 2stroke oil, to save carrying 10L ina backpack. No many do!
Depending on your route, the Shell station at Turangi, (the bottom of Taupo?) sell fully synthetic VSX.
Fingers crossed for good weather!

Heya, im looking at heading up to near tokoroa, havent got any set time, date etc but would be keen to have people to run with. Im crashing with a mate before heading to tauranga, good chance you could grab some floor if needed that night.

[MrMelon]

I've got a bunch of mates going up in an evo 8, so i'll get them to take my 4l bottle of vsx with them
Should be able to get up there without topping the 2 stroke oil up.

Ah this should be cool.

Mr Melon/Eddieb,

Take the boring ride to Whanganui, then up through the Paras, SH4, SH3, SH30 to Hamilton.

I thought about that route, according to the route finder on the AA website it's the quickest way.

[What?]

Im crashing with a mate ...

Huh????????

[Eddieb]

So does anyone have a time and a place they are leaving at/from?

If it's not too early in the morning and I have my S**t together and am packed and ready to go I'd be keen to join up. :bigthumb:

Go thru the Paekak Hill Rd, then the turn through to Shannon - go in thru PNorth, out through the Woodville exit. Take the back roads to Taihape - then go thru Ohakune, then at Otarahunga, go via Pirongia, to Ngarahwaia, then SH25 to Drury and then on the motorway

If you go near Drury check Firefight's posting re the roadworks first.

[wkid_one]

Go the other side then and come in through Mantawhiri, Miranda, Kaiaua, Kawakawa Bay and Clevedon OR Mangatawhiri, Lions Head Rd, Hunua and Clevedon.

Thanks Linda, but that should not effect them, its more if your going to and from Puke township,, if they come back via Kaiawa-Kawakawa -clevdon they will be fine & if they come back from glen murry -to Tuakau they should still be right if they get back onto S/Hway 1 @ Pokeno or via Harrisville-Bombay

firefight.
